On March 10, Shinhan Bank Vietnam announced the appointment of Mr. Shin Dong Min to the position of General Director.

As one of the leading financial experts in the Shinhan Financial Group (SFG) in South Korea, Mr. Shin is expected to lead Shinhan Bank Vietnam to become one of the strongest foreign banks in Vietnam in his new term thanks to his deep understanding of the country.

During his 28 years of experience with SFG Mr. Shin spent ten years working in Vietnam’s finance and banking industry.

After taking on the Deputy General Manager position at Shinhan Bank’s Ho Chi Minh City Branch from 2004 to 2007 he returned to South Korea before coming back to Vietnam in 2010 to support the bank’s expansion strategy.

He was appointed General Manager of Shinhan Bank’s Binh Duong Branch in 2010, General Manager of Shinhan Bank’s Ho Chi Minh City Branch in 2011, and Head of the Northern Division and General Manager of Shinhan Bank’s Hanoi Branch in 2013.

Thanks to his experience and knowledge Mr. Shin has overseen the Hanoi Branch becoming one of the leading banks in the capital and also established a solid foundation for the bank in the northern region.

Shinhan Bank Vietnam is a part of Shinhan Bank in South Korea, which is under SFG - the first civilian-controlled financial holding company in the country. Over the last 23 years the bank has built a broad network covering many cities and provinces with 14 branches, which is the largest among foreign banks.
